Err, We're talking about the same "terriorist" who is willing to crash the plane into a building and kill themselves that way? I suspect mixing up a batch of highly unstable nitro is just about perfect

That said, I don't think that the current rules about onboard liquids really bypasses this. Many compounds that could be combined to generate "unhealthy" impacts would be undetectable on the WTMD and even would pass the "inspection" given to materials in the quart baggie.
